A video, discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza in late March, shows that the ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency signal lights on when Israeli troops hit them with a barrage of gunfire.

Wow, even the NYT is reporting on it?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 hours ago

Israel shooting medics, throwing them in a mass grave and then lying about it? Better not talk about it, or we might be labelled as antisemites and/or terrorist supporters.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

the paramedic who filmed the video was later found with a bullet in his head in the mass grave. His name has not been disclosed yet because he has relatives living in Gaza concerned about Israeli retaliation

"We killed your son, and it came to light, so now we're going to kill you."

It's truly hard to fathom the depth of evil in isreal right now. And we're fucking funding it. We're arming them, and paying them to continue. Meanwhile AIPAC continues to fund primaries against our politicians that speak out. The US is a fucking joke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Yeah well if they're in Gaza Israel wants to (and eventually will) kill them regardless.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'd like to know how all of us watching Israel kill thousands of Palestinians - and we do nothing to stop it - is any different than the world watching Germany kill Jews, gypsies, Poles, scientists, etc in WW2?

There. Is. No. Fucking. Difference.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago

incredibly disappointing that nations like Saudi Arabia and Turkey rather leverage this opportunity to militarise against fucking Syria and Yemen or Iran, and only go against Israel in words only, whilst selling or buying drones to or from Israel

Disappointed with everyone, especially with Germany for being this anti Palestinian

[–] CobraChicken3000 27 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I'm no expert but that is a war crime

Pile of bodies in the mass grave or pile of war crimes and atrocities against humanity?

And it'll, once again, change fuck all...

Death to the IDF

Awesome to have these two headlines right next to each other in my feed:

Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On

Senate Democrats overwhelmingly reject restricting US arms sales to Israel

the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.

Cory Booker, recently hailed in the corporate press for talking for 25 hours straight on the Senate floor—without blocking a vote on legislation or a Trump judicial nomination—voted against both resolutions.

What I don't get is that almost nothing is happening. They are systematically and blatantly committing the most atrocious warcrimes and there is no outcry by the nations. What they do in one day would be enough to denounce any weaker developing country. The west is showing once again that the international community is really all about control, capitalism and racism.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

How is it just blamed on "the west". China, India and other "Eastern" countries are in the UN as well. Would you not have to say it just shows they care nothing about the international community and it is really about their control and power as well? The world is watching executions around the world, and people are just being censored to/from it by their governments. Israel's biggest trading partner is China by far, almost twice the U.S. Not any huge press from them about stopping.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Y'know, I'm starting to think those Israelis are a bunch of fucking assholes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 hours ago

If they do just one more genocide I'm gonna start getting a little angry

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

The IDF is bombing UN buildings and people are still waffling on calling Israel a terrorist nation is hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I had to reread this a few times to understand that "waffling" means being hesitant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Eh am I old? that's not a strange phrase is it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

It's not a common international English word and English is not my native language.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

ah yeah I can see that, sorry

[–] [email protected] 0 points 26 minutes ago* (last edited 25 minutes ago)

Native English speaker, though haven’t lived in the UK (nor any other country with English as the primary/dominant language) since I was a chid.

I’ve heard the phrase a million times said out loud.

First time I’ve seen it in written language, however.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well, not that hilarious, really.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

It's hilarious in a "humanity is completely fucked I'm screaming internally" way. This is not sane laughter

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

On a similar article, a lot of people on reddit were saying that they could be terrorist on disguise, therefore is on to kill them (attempt to) ask, and that's all good as per Geneva convention.

My reply was deleted, my account banned and my will to stay on that platforms eliminated.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Zionists bending over backwards rationalizing their war crimes as just anti-terrorist attacks while they are invading another country is the ultimate mental 4D chess.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

When not being like you it's there crime, everybody is a valid target

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (5 children)

reddit is absolutely unusable.

I got banned for similar behavior, but I still lurk there sometimes. Recently I read an upvoted comment along the lines of: "I would rather have the Nazi for government than live with these hamas supporters and wokists."

There are hundreds of other examples of how biased toward fascism this platform has become. From my understanding, many moderators of large subreddits (e.g., r/worldnews, r/mapporn, r/news, r/geopolitics) have been purged and replaced with state-affiliated actors like literal IOF soldiers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Don't worry, you would have also been banned if you had depicted israelis suffering the same abuse at the hands of Palestinians. They REALLY don't like to imagine that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

r/worldnews is Israeli gov’t propaganda

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

A lot of fucked up things in all that, but them condoning killing civilians is apparently okay, but asking how Trump hasn't been killed yet for trying to turn USA into a fascist dictatorship gets you banned.

That's what got me here.

IDF members are war criminals. Isreal is genocidal state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

Thats why I call it the IOZ (Israeli Occupied Zone), its not a country its a military occupation

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 hours ago

At first a crime, then doubling down on the crime and making it a massacre, then destroying evidence and lying to everyone about the circumstances...

...I do wonder if there's something else the IDF needs to accomplish, for some countries to reconsider their support to Israel.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

A colleague lost his brother with this convoy. The path / location of the convoy was shared with the israelis too. They were executed and the vehicles completely destroyed.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago

Same as the Hind Rajab case (and countless others). More than a year on Israel is still 'investigating'.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Wow I'm so shocked that those genocidal wackos would murder even more people. Totally unheard of. \s \s \s

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 hours ago (6 children)

Of all countries on this earth, Israel is without doubt the nastiest, most cruel, least human, most bigoted, worst possible country of them all. The people who have chosen to move to Israel as outsiders are IMO just at responsible for any death of innocent children. Are you an American "Jew"? Well good for you. now fucking stay the fuck where you belong instead of terrorizing random families thousands of miles away under the excuse that you own their house or whatever fucking messed up crap you can come up with. I have edited this comment to remove a section which I was made aware is Anti-Semitic due to conflating Judaism with Zionism - thanks for making me aware. I got carried away and regret the harsh tone of the original comment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I agree with much of what you're saying... But it's antisemitic to conflate judaism with zionism.

Zios can be jewish, christian, atheist, "muslim", etc. Conversely many jews are not zionist.

There's little reason to even talk about jewish people when the actual problem is the genocidal ideology of zionism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago

Thank you for this, it is always nice to be corrected and actually learn something. I do apologise for the original comment and how it came out more harsh than intended. It is good to know there are actually many Jewish people who do not identify with Israel's actions and don't consider themselves Zionists. It is too easy to get revved up and write angry things on the internet. Thankfully this is a good media and people are actually being helpful and providing some great feedback.

Interesting thing that there are more Zionist Christians than Jewish (is it called Jewish or Jews in this case?) Definitely worth reading up on this part.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

There are plenty of anti-Israeli Jews. Don't paint us all with the same brush.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 minutes ago

Nearly every Jewish institution has been infected with the cancer that is zionism.
